Take the Bite Out of Dental Emergencies

Like any emergency, dental injuries are unexpected. These situations can be painful and require the intervention of a dentist as soon as possible. If you have a need for emergency dentistry Windsor Terrace, learn how to prepare for your appointment during one of these common dental emergencies.

Tooth Fractures

There are three types of fractures that can occur to the teeth: chips, moderate fractures, and severe fractures. Chipped teeth are the most minor damage and may not need more than a visit to the dentist to smooth the edges of the chipped tooth. Moderate fractures involve the sensitive tissue inside the tooth, but they can still be restored by the dentist. Severe fractures may require a tooth to be extracted. If you fracture a tooth, the first step is to rinse the mouth with warm water. Ibuprofen can be taken for pain, and cold compresses can relieve swelling.

Tooth Avulsions

Tooth avulsion occurs when a tooth is knocked out of the socket. Tooth avulsion is time-sensitive, and in order to ensure the survival of the tooth, a dentist must be seen within an hour of the incident. When a tooth is knocked out, it should be picked up by the crown. Grabbing the root of the tooth decreases the tooth's natural ability to reattach to the bone. If the tooth can be placed carefully back into the socket, you should do so to keep the tooth moist. However, if that is not an option, you can wrap the tooth in gauze and place inside a glass of milk.

Tooth Shifting

Trauma can cause a tooth to shift from its natural position. Attempts can be made to position the tooth back into its proper location, but the tooth should not be forced into realignment. Only gentle pressure should be used as not to damage the tooth or the gums.

Being prepared with a home emergency kit can help when faced with a dental emergency. Keep the phone number to your dentist handy, and make sure to call when you are faced with any of these situations.

What Makes a Good Concealed Ankle Holster?

Getting into self-defense and personal protection should be a comfortable experience, but all too often new people are a bit shy about asking key questions before making purchases, and that can cost them time and money as they work through the equipment they don't like to find the gear they do.

Understanding what makes each piece of gear effective and how it fits into your tactical carry makes a huge difference, so if you don't like asking questions in person, you need to do research. Before you buy a concealed ankle holster, you need to know if your choice will suit the gun you own and the way you move.

Comfort Comes First

The very first rule when buying a concealed carry holster of any kind is that it needs to feel comfortable. More than that, it needs to feel natural. An irritant will be a temptation to pick at it and call attention to the area, and an uncomfortable weight will affect the way you walk, revealing the ankle holster. Finding the most natural, form-fitting holster that holds your gun snugly is the key to effectively carrying at the ankle.

Consider Material Behavior

How a holster releases has a huge impact on the way a user interacts with it, and there's not one solution that works for everybody. There are designs that generally feel better to most people, though, and it's worthwhile learning what the gold standards are for different materials, as well as what different materials will do for your carry style.

Don't Forget Your Fashion

Carrying at the ankle requires you think through the way your holster will interact with your clothes, as well as how much extra bulk your pistol adds at the ankle. Smaller weapons with holsters that keep them tight to the body are easier to hide, but finding the right combination of holster, pistol, and outfit for your carry days means being able to be sure no one but you knows where the weapon is. That way, you're getting everything you expect out of your concealed carry permit.

Globe Studios’ films nominated at the 42nd Gawad Urian Awards

Globe Studios’ films “Ang Panahon ng Halimaw” and “Hintayan ng Langit” recently earned nominations at the 42nd Gawad Urian Awards, to be held at the UPFI (UP Film Institute) Film Center in Quezon City on June 18.

Nominated for Best Director were Lav Diaz, for his outstanding directorial job in “Ang Panahon ng Halimaw,” while veteran thespian Eddie Garcia earned a Best Actor nomination for his role as Manolo in “Hintayan ng Langit.”

It is another notable recognition for Globe Studios, who continue to co-produce outstanding creative film, television and online content.

“Ang Panahon ng Halimaw” (Season of the Devil) is the latest brilliant product of Diaz, a 4-hour epic which stars Piolo Pascual (Hugo) and Shaina Magdayao (Lorena). The film mixed Diaz’s usual ascetic aesthetics with powerful dialogues set in unaccompanied live “rock opera” fashion, a story told amid a late 1970s society that reeked with authoritarianism, repression and violence.

The movie also recently won the Grand Jury Prize for Best Picture at the recently concluded 67th FAMAS (Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences), its second after bagging Best Film in the Gems section of the 58th Festival Internacional de Cine Cartagena de Indias last year. It also competed for the Golden Bear award in the Main Competition section of the 68th Berlin International Film Festival.

“Hintayan ng Langit,” helmed by acclaimed writer Juan Miguel Severo (“On the Wings of Love” and “The Hows of Us”) is about a recently deceased Manolo (Eddie Garcia) who got reunited with his ex-girlfriend Lisang, played by another veteran actress, Gina Pareño in, of all places, purgatory.
